7/23 Oopsiedoodle!
"We believe we now know the identity of the man shot at Stockwell
Underground station by police on Friday 22nd July 2005, although he is
still subject to formal identification. We are now satisfied that he
was not connected with the incidents of Thursday 21st July 2005. For
somebody to lose their life in such circumstances is a tragedy and one
that the Metropolitan Police Service regrets. ... The man emerged from
a block of flats in the Stockwell area that were under police
surveillance ..." -Scotland Yard
"He spotted the plainclothesmen who were following him and fled into
the nearby Stockwell subway station, one stop from the Oval station
that was the scene of one of Thursday's explosions."
"Witnesses report seeing up to 20 plain clothes police officers chase
a man into Stockwell Tube station from the street ... Police challenge
the man but he apparently refuses to obey instructions"
"He apparently tried to get on a train before he was, according to
witnesses, shot five times in the head by an officer with an automatic
pistol."
"... that officers had ordered the man to halt and had opened fire only
after he failed to obey. But none of the witnesses reported hearing
any warning."
"Another cousin, Aleide Menezes, said in an interview with Brazil's
national radio network that Mr. Menezes understood English well and
would have understood the officer's instructions. Other relatives, in
television and newspaper interviews, said the family was Roman
Catholic and that Mr. Menezes had nothing to do with Islam."
\_ He would've been 'connected' to next week's.
\_ It apparently depends on what the meaning of "challenge" is in
this case.
\_ "This tragedy has added another victim to the toll of deaths for
which the terrorists bear responsibility." according to BBC.
Yeah blame it on the terrorists!!!
\_ The terrorists made the cop fingers extra itchy.
\_ It's sad, just like the vigilantes who sat on/asphyxiated some
poor loon on airplane flights after 9/11. We don't know (yet?)
why he ran, but as easily as for being a Bad Guy it could have
been that he is your garden variety illegal immigrant or that
the plain-clothes SAS officers looked like an intimidating mob
bent on some vigilante justice. |
